Wait, does exercise help osteoarthritis?
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of exercise on osteoarthritis, the role of school kids in combating superbugs, the ineffectiveness of low-dose aspirin for cancer prevention in older adults, and the complexities of gout treatment.
A paper has suggested exercise has minimal, short-term effects on osteoarthritis. But experts are warning people with the condition that they shouldn't stop moving. Also, school kids are being called on to help in the fight against superbugs. A new study shoots down low-dose aspirin for older people wanting to prevent cancer. And we take a look at another form of arthritis: gout. It's under-recognised and under-treated, but what can be done about it, and why is it such a complicated story?
